swap suggestions

[built_ls]

I need to rebuild my ls head and a new clutch. But I'm like F that I'll just do a swap. What do you guys think I should do?

These are the three options I'm looking at from Hmotorsonline. (click on the links)

Link: complete gsr swap

Link: complete k swap

Link gsr long block and i would use my ls tranny (I have LSD) and I would just get a new clutch

Complete gsr swap bro

LS tranny with B18C engine. Find a B16 gear set and swap them in and keep your 5th gear if your concerned with shorter gear ratios. GSR tranny rations are not that much less than LS Trannys. Not to mention a K swap is gonna cost a hell of alot more for all the required mounts, wiring harnesses, etc. H22 is always an option.

Keep your ls trans how it is and swap your motor for the gsr long block. That's what I did. I have a b17 gsr linked to a 90-91 ls cable trans. Back when I street raced, it would walk my friends 2000 gsr from a 20,40 & 60 mph rolling start. And that was me shifting @ 7000-7300. It's even worse at the track, I pulled better times than this kids rsx, and he knew how to drive. He ran 17.5 and I ran 17.0. Keep in mind the track is at ~6000ft so the times are slow due to thinner air. But you get the point. Ls trans ftmfw!!!

(ps, I don't condone, encourage or support street racing, this was just used as an example, from a time when I was immature, arrogant, and ignorant to the true dangers of the activity. Please keep all racing at the track)

Yeah the only thing about the k swap is it might be too much money

Since money is an issue, getting a complete GS-R swap would be the best option for you.

U mean better option than keeping my tranny and just getting the gsr motor?

 

[nmcginnis17]

do the complete gsr swap!

 

[covert_Con]

Or, get a b20v. It's a strong motor and will probably be the most efficient for the money

Disagree. Easier to just do a B18C and put some killer cams in it.

yes it is easier...but you wont get as much power out of a GSR

The Question I have is, with the the k20a2 complete changeover what else will I need? Like what other parts will I have to get that will cause the price to go up?

Because it says:

* If you need a motor mount kit for your 1992-2000 civic or 94-01 Integra, we can supply you with the Hasport EGK1, EKK1, EKK2 kit for $425. The Hasport Axle kit runs $250. Other Kits Also Available Please inquire.

Because it says:

Honda tuning did an article on it. It has alot of parts and is expensive. Why havn't you ruled out an H series? I never understood why people don't ever consider these engines.

 

[built_ls]

so i've been email a guy from Hybrid Racing. He says if i by the k20a2 from hmotors. i will need another 3k in parts from them. Its not worth it so k seap is out of the question.

Looks like imma go with the gsr swap. or a b18c5
